Leo served in the Canadian Army from 1939 to 1945, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He was President of the Royal Canadian Legion from 1959-1960 & 1990-1994. Leo also was a Councilor for the Town of Espanola from 1962-1965 and was Mayor from 1966-1982. He worked as a Commissioner for Ontario Northland & as Case Commissioner for the Department of Veteran Affairs, Ottawa. Leo retired from E. B. Eddy Forest Limited at the age of 62 years after 37 years of employment.
Leo spent the majority of his retirement life with the love of his life (saint) Mary, at their camp on Hanna Lake. After Mary's death Leo moved to the Espanola Nursing Home where the staff immediately became his family. His humour, his drawer of chocolate bars and "hip slimmers" became his trademark. The family feels that the care provided by the Espanola Nursing Home and it's Staff definitely contributed to the quality of life Leo enjoyed during his final years. Special thanks to Tracy, Tyler, and Charlotte for the many, many visits and to the Doctors, Meikleham and Salam for their patience and understanding.
Interment in the Espanola Cemetery.
